      He mostly just shows what he does with his premade action without actually breaking down the actions during the new and old method. If you manage to get the actions the video is definitely more helpful since you have all those missing steps.

  • @photopracticum

    Great tutorial! I think this technique works very well when you need to work fast and have lots of images to retouch. The only thing I would say is- if you are working on your own portfolio images and you want the best quality retouching, I would still take a bit more time in order to preserve the skin texture and make the portrait look as natural as possible. If you have time, I would suggest this workflow: use Liquify first if needed > removing the main blemishes first (the new Remove Tool is amazing for this) > do dodging and burning > do some light adjustments using frequency separation > create a brush layer like in your first example to fix remaining problems > do another dodge and burn, this time to make accents > add noise to mimic skin texture if lost > add final contrast and colour adjustments if needed.

      Doesn't work with the tool. When I brush over an area, a stroke of color with a pattern in black and white is created. As if someone had painted into the picture with a brush. Is it possible that the Remove Tool doesn't yet work in the current Photoshop? I couldn't do any skin retouching with it either. It always just creates this weird greasy streak of paint. Any idea how to fix that bug?

    Thank you for this new technique. I will try and compare with "usual 8 and 16 bits FS", not only for the fact it's muuuch faster but also to compare both results. I'm sure that it's going to make us win a lot of time for retouching that are just used in low def for sure, and what's interesting is to see if HD pictures work with this technique can keep the skin as realistic as usual FS can do 😀👍 I already imagine mixing both techniques to have the best control and a good balance between speed and quality 😉 Thank you Unmesh, always on top 👍

I also used another technique I learned from you to brighten eyes, which I usually would do in LRClassic, duplicate layer, change to linear light, filter, other, high pass (dunno if correct as mine in Italian) then inverted mask and paint on the eyes to reveal, this layer along with the high and low pass ones, result is quite amazing for a nerd!!!

    Whoa, PiXimperfect! Diving into this tutorial felt like unearthing a Photoshop treasure chest! 😄 The Modern Method of Frequency Separation is like the secret sauce we've all been missing. With the Remove Tool in play, who needs a magic wand? It's baffling that Adobe hasn't rolled out the red carpet for this method yet. And while I'm all for the art of meticulous editing for those portfolio gems, sometimes we just need that quick sprinkle of editing magic. Can't wait to pit this method against the old-school FS in a Photoshop duel! Keep those fun and insightful tutorials coming! 🚀

    Funny. I used to adjust individual frequencies with a nifty photoshop plugin called Equalizer ( part of Kai Power Tools 6.0, if I remember correctly ), some 20 years ago! It worked great for removing unwanted discernable patterns in tillable textures ( like grass ), and was extremely intuitive. Note: I still have it somewhere, though one needs Photoshop 8.0 for it to work. KPT was awesome; still is, in fact.

      Ngl seems unlikely, aliens should have a similar, downward sloping MTF curve in their vision. The main way they'd differ is in terms of what spectrum of light that would be visible to them, which would be determined by the star at their solar system of origin.
      Worry not, we'd probably look like monsters to them anyway though.

    Frequency Separation:
    1. Separates the Color and Texture of the Face.
    2. Color and Texture will have its own layer.
    3. You can edit Color and Texture of the face separately
    4. Its like in Comics where the textures are the black line edges and colors are like, well, colors

    Hi, first thing to say is that, not only do I appreciate the information and knowledge you share in your videos, but I also love your enthusiasm! I have a question - is there an automated method to create and apply luminosity masks to multiple images in Lightroom? AI? I am trying to speed up and simplify my workflow. At the moment I have to blend layers in Photoshop with manual luminosity masks, sort of as a manual HDR blending 3 images rather than a single exposure. I've been trying to send images off to a retoucher recently but the results have not been good. Thanks!

      When I'm working with a roll from a single shoot, I sometimes make an action for most of the steps for one image, and then play the action on the similar images. It's not the best solution and I sometimes have several actions to delete after a job if the shots have various angles and lighting or models etc, but it's shaved a little bit off of my workflow. I hope that makes sense? And maybe helpful!?

    I have some but not all of the Retouch4Me plugins. (Missing are fabric, both of the eyes, teeth, color match, and backdrop).
    1. What happens if I try to use your one-click plugin, and one or more of the R4M plugins aren't there?
    2. Some of the R4M plugins offer a 0 to 200 value, others 0 to 100 value. How does your plugin know what values to use on a per plugin-by-plugin basis? In their panel, if you opt to run all of the plugins, they just use whatever the last value used was (when manually configured).
    3. Similarly, some of these offer a softlight option, same question...

    Has anyone else noticed when using the Remove Tool with skin on the blurred layer, it often creates a slight red tint where you've used the tool? It's very faint, but it does show up on the final image, so I've had to switch to using the Healing Brush Tool instead. Just wondering if anyone else has experienced this. And before you ask, I have "Sample all layers" unchecked.
